The Hon. Dilith Jayaweera
Dilith Jayaweera described the Trincomalee incident as a sensitive matter that could escalate and criticized the Deputy Minister’s response as weak. He urged that the issue be approached from a common national civilizational perspective, without ethnic or religious divisions, and resolved in a way that preserves peace rather than relying solely on court action.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 This is a very sensitive issue that can escalate. What a weak answer the Deputy Minister gave? I propose that regarding the incident in Trincomalee, view it from the country’s common civilizational perspective, analyze it devoid of ethnic or religious divisions, resolve it without running to courts alone, and safeguard peace among peace-loving Sri Lankans. With that proposal, I sit down.
¶ 02 Thank you.
